Hall Primary School was a rural heritage-listed primary school located in the Canberra town of Hall, Australian Capital Territory, Australia.[1] It was Canberra's oldest continually operating school, having opened in 1911,[2] and remained in operation until its closure in 2006.[3] Administered by the ACT Education Department,[1] the school served students from Kindergarten to Year 6 and had a final enrolment of 128 students at the time of its closure.[4]
Its closure was announced on 13 December 2006, by the Education Minister, Andrew Barr[5] as foreshadowed in the 2006–07 Australian Capital Territory budget.
Integrated into the school is the Laurie Copping Museum[6] that recreates a school room from 1911. It was opened by the Governor-General in November 2004.[7]
The school was originally established in New South Wales and was the responsibility of the New South Wales government until 1913 when the ACT was created.[8] The Commonwealth Government still pays the cost of interstate based Hall students by way of Commonwealth Grants Commission adjustments.
